Project Officer at GGAT

Hello, my name is Rowena Hart and I work as a Project Officer at GGAT. I am currently undertaking a post-excavation project following a pretty large excavation outside Merthyr in South Wales. We excavated a really important industrial landscape dating to the very beginnings of the industrial period in the area. Excitingly there was also prehistoric archaeology up there too! We were there for about 18 months and so the site archive is huge! We are writing stratigraphic accounts today and undertaking research into the nature of the industrial components of the area especially the ironstone and coal mines. I hope to start sending out the finds to our specialists this afternoon.
